The Chimera installation does not alter the PATH variable.  Moreover, if the Chimera bin directory is on your PATH, it should be removed -- there are executables in the Chimera bin directory that might interfere with ones installed on your system (in particular, the python executable).

A correct installation, as is optionally done by the Chimera installer, is to put a symbolic link to the chimera executable, called chimera, in a directory on your existing PATH.  If that has been done, you can see where the symbolic link is by running the command: "which chimera".

​Hi,

I've installed the headless version of Chimera and have realized that it inserts the location of the headless binary into the PATH variable. Unfortunately, I can't figure out what system file has been modified. I use a tcsh shell and the .cshrc is not modified. Any help in identifying the modified system file would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.

Best wishes,
Rez
